Slapping the Fat Woman

Titles are incredibly important and there is no doubt this is one of our favorites.

The photographers on the course had just three days to produce a photofilm from scratch (without any prior experience of making one). The work was outstanding and you can see just how much fun it can be to ‘slap a fat woman’ (if you know what you’re doing).

Student’s responses:

  • ‘A great thanks for the training which was clear, well-paced and flexible but more importantly it preserved the initial inspiration I had at the start of the course. I will definitely recommend the training to anyone interested in producing film shows/MM.’ Dominic O’Regan
  • ‘It was an absolutely brilliant three days. I couldn’t imagine before we set out how or where to start and how I was going to be able to get all the audio and stills in one afternoon to be able to make a photofilm, but miraculously we did! I would 100% recommend this course to anyone wanting to start making photofilms, I found the whole weekend incredibly inspiring, informative (beyond belief) and very exciting in what it has made me realise it is possible to do.’ Georgina Cranston
  • ‘Thank you for a great workshop. Although I already knew the technical part of editing audio and making a photofilm, I learned an awful lot. Mainly on how to actually make a story, which is probably more important then just knowing how to cut, paste and work with the software.’ Emiel Elgersma

If you would like to be trained by duckrabbit we have a few spaces left on courses running in May/June and July.

  • Was moved by your video for the WorldFish Center. I loved the phrase “No extra cost. Just extra care”. It really brings out the practical impact the CGIAR’s work has, work which often people see as a bunch of white-coated guys doing research in a lab, rather than understanding the actual change we make for people. The case of Bangladesh was well chosen. In many areas, I saw people looking at water as a curse there (limited land to grow, live, difficult transport, constant threat of flooding, raising sea levels, salination). Your video showed how this can be turned around, using water to their advantage. Peter Casier

  • The duckrabbit workshop taught me to push myself and my subjects. To learn from my mistakes and to really look for the interesting people and stories. This workshop came at an important time for me. Thanks. Scott Gray
